I want the master on the main floor, away from the kids/guest bedrooms. Also, I want kids above the master, not below (for safety and harder for teenage sneak outs).
But it's otherwise lovely. |
Houses from this era do not have the primary bedroom, or any bedrooms, on the first floor. |
My grandmother lived in an 1880 Victorian house and the master was on the first floor. I used to give tours of her house during town festivals. |
Many Victorians of this size had a first floor bedroom. There was always a grandmother living in, or mother recovering from a pregnancy. Or someone with a long illness. But Victorian layouts were also flexible as rooms could be a bedroom or a library or an extra parlor. As it is, this house reminds me why I have no interest in a Victorian of this kind. Too many small poky rooms. No openness. Happy to respect it but not to buy it. |
| Too much house for me a desperately needs a full kitchen reno (baths too if I'm honest). But I would like the 4 bedroom version of this house with a new kitchen and about a tenth of the outdoor space. |
